No offense to &quot;fine art&quot;, but I find good illustrators and graphic designers have a better handle on design, lighting effects, etc. Thank you for your information!Studio at the Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900305750995808779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-36460101136437201812010-10-02T04:34:41.504-04:002010-10-02T04:34:41.504-04:00Thank you very much

I suppose those techniques yo mention are the tools painters and illustrators use to help you tell the visual story.

I think the intellectual understanding grows from observation for every painter. <br /><br />Deducing the character of a light from a shadow is a great example of that process. Most every artist must figure this out for him- or herself because it&#39;s almost never taught in art schools--though photographers do learn a related knowledge base.<br /><br />Then we have to consider the emotional or storytelling implications of the visual tools we use. No wonder learning to paint takes a lifetime!James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-21659920088227318022010-09-30T18:30:57.397-04:002010-09-30T18:30:57.397-04:00Just to clarify my comment above: (It wasn&#39;t p...Just to clarify my comment above: (It wasn&#39;t particularly well phrased.) It was meant as a question to James regarding his thoughts on the balance between knowing something like this phenomenon intellectually, and the knowledge that one gets from observation.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-81376143590290369312010-09-30T15:16:19.188-04:002010-09-30T15:16:19.188-04:00And if you look at pictures like thsi with 3D glas...And if you look at pictures like thsi with 3D glasses they do weird things!!Tristan Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936915388418287612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-15717832759844676602010-09-30T15:12:30.596-04:002010-09-30T15:12:30.596-04:00As painters we often &quot;discover&quot; phenomem...As painters we often &quot;discover&quot; phenomema like this purely through observation without even knowing what it is we&#39;re painting. That thought leads me to ponder to what extent you realize - maybe years after rendering such a phenomenon - what the physical explanation is for the effect that you &quot;knew&quot; before you realized the physics behind it.
